Debate.
We willl discuss many issues
of relevance to men in today's society, including their perception and changing expectations of what it is to be a man
today.
* How and why men are perceived to have let women down ?
* How can men can raise their game ?
* Women.
* Relationships.
* With the spate of knife killings going on, the violence of men will be addresssed. Are men really that limited
in expression of anger and emotion and how can men become more expressive in a non-violent, more communicative manner ?
* Life in general.
* With the theme for National Men's Health Week being long term illnesses, we will be addressing vital health
concerns.

William Leith used to think
that men had never had it so good. They had power and money. They made the rules. Now, he's not so sure. As his friends confess
to stress and depression, he asks : what does it mean to be a man, if the future is female ? Featuring interviews
with Giles Coren and James Brown.
'BOYS II MEN III : MEN IN CRISIS
was discussed last Sunday Night on the BBC London Dotun Adebayo & Valley Fontaine show. Donald Mack,
one of the booked speakers, was
interviewed about the event. He stressed that the evening was open both to Men and Women. Speaking in a personal capacity , he doubted the vast majority of men were in crisis but he accepted that there might be some specific groups of men who faced
particular challenges. He welcomed the fact
that the evening presented an opportunity for everyone to talk positively and constructively about men's role in a modern society.
He thought the talk on Friday gives
everyone the chance to take part in a dialogue where everyone could not only talk and listen, but could genuinely
share and explore the issues that came up. He had some of his own
ideas about which issues could be usefully be tackled on Friday but he was keen that the evening would be driven by the issues that
the audience on the day brought
up and cared about.
Being a Friday night people should of course
look forward to a night where they can unwind, mix and mingle with like minded people who are up for serious discussion but
do not take themselves too seriously. Teenagers and women are very very welcome (just please do try to bring along any men you know too) !!
